Quizno's Baby Bob: Bye bye

by Bob Sassone, posted Jun 6th 2006 9:25AM

Baby BobIt had to happen sooner or later: Quizno's has given the boot to Baby Bob.

The talking baby has been doing commercials for the sub chain for a number of years now, never aging in that Simpsons-characters never age sort of way (though creepier because it's a human and not a cartoon). This article at Adfreak actually reminded me exactly how long this ad had been running. Bob started online, as the mascot for Freeinternet.com, then he got his own TV sitcom (remember?). Then he was brought back as the spokesman spokesperson spokesbaby for Quizno's.

So now they have a new direction they're going in. Regardless of who's in the ads, I really love their Chicken Milano sub. I think I'll get one tonight. In honor of Bob.

Huh. I thought for sure it was Brian Doyle-Murray who did the voice.

I hate Bob. More than the Spongmonkey. Everytime I saw Bob I wanted to punch him in his face. Stupid talking baby.

Chris Penn? I always thought it was the guy who played the "libido" in "Herman's Head".

Seeing as Chris Penn passed away recently, and he was the voice of Baby Bob, it wouldn't have been cool for them to continue the ads.

Did you know that Bob was really a cross-dressing female? Yep, Bob's a girl!

Yup, here too. That was the only thing I ever ordered from Quiznos.

Don't count on it. They dropped the Milano last week... or whenever they changed their menus to add the flatbread salads. They also dropped all of their 'wraps' too. At least that's what happened here...
